Golf-Hoffman one ahead in early going in Houston (Reuters)

April 1 (Reuters) - Charley Hoffman remained one stroke clear midway through the weather-interrupted second round of the Houston Open on Friday, despite bogeying his final hole at the Golf Club of Houston in Humble, Texas.

One ahead of the chasing pack overnight, American Hoffman fired a two-under-par 70 to post a 10-under total of 134 in the final PGA Tour event before next week's Masters, the first of the year's four major championships.

Hoffman, who had opened with a scintillating 64, was two ahead with one hole to play but ran up a five at the par-four 18th after finding a bunker off the tee and failing to reach the green in two.
